Water gates

By Bob Marshall | The Lens

s the heart of hurricane season approaches, residents protected by the new Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System can be excused for feeling a little confident. After all, last year while Hurricane Isaac dealt pain and suffering to communities outside the system, those inside endured only power outages and some downed trees. So when Mother Nature throws the next haymaker at New Orleans, it’s just a matter of filling the generator, storing some ice, and sitting back while that $14.5 billion, 130-mile ring of levees and floodwalls does everything else, right? If only it were that simple. It would have been ideal if this system had a single purpose like the wall around a medieval castle: a solid ring with one gate that would be slammed shut to protect lives when a rampaging horde approaches. Instead, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had to balance public safety with two other concerns: shipping traffic and urban rain drainage. The result is a system that isn’t a solid wall, but a chain of linked sections pierced by more than 250 openings, varying

did not properly manage $240 million in federal grants in 2012, according to audits released Aug. 7. Independent auditors Postlethwaite & Netterville and Bruno & Tervalon revealed inadequate tracking and dispersing methods for federal grant money awarded to more than a dozen city agencies. The city also spent $9 million more than it collected that year.

THIS WEEK’S Question:

If the New Orleans Saints retire “Stand Up and Get Crunk” this year, who should record the team’s new touchdown song?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 20 > 2013

It’s no easy task to prepare New Orleans’ flood protection system if a hurricane should approach. Here’s how it works — absent any unexpected scenarios.

in size from drain pipes An opening along the Lake to mammoth navigation Borge Surge Barrier. gates. PHOTO COURTESY U.S. ARMY CORPS Anyone can see which OF ENGINEERS gates are open or closed by using the Levee Information Management System, a software program created by the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E). All of them must be closed as a storm approaches the region. Even that isn’t simple, because those closures must follow a complicated procedure spanning 96 hours and involving personnel from more than 10 local, state and federal agencies, as well as the maritime industry. And because the plan must account for changes in tide and wind predictions, it has twists and turns that can make it look like a Rube Goldberg creation. It all results in a complicated dance in which a misstep could result in parts of the city getting very wet. “It is carefully choreographed,” said Bob Turner, the engineer who is the regional director of the SLFPA-E. “It’s somewhat unique in that the things you have to do in order to

mitigate flood risk don’t always have strictly to do with flood control.”

The largest and most challenging part of storm prep deals with the shipping industry. This key part of the area’s economy also creates one of its greatest vulnerabilities to hurricanes. Most of that occurs at the intersection of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, the Industrial Canal and the now-decommissioned Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MR-GO). Together, this region on the eastern flank of the city is called the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, which is managed by the U.S. Coast Guard. These deep canals and their levee systems can trap and channel storm surge. That’s what happened during Hurricane Katrina, when the canals and levees created a virtual funnel that guided water into the Industrial Canal, eventually collapsing its floodwalls, drowning hundreds of people in the Lower 9th Ward. If public safety were the only consideration, the entire area would be permanently blocked, members of the SLFPA-E have said. But the Gulf waterway and Industrial Canal are critical to commerce in New Orleans and the Gulf. So engineers had to design surge protection that included these big openings. That was accomplished through the most expensive features of the system: the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier and its shipping gates at the Gulf waterway and Bayou Bienvenue, and the shipping gate on the Seabrook Canal where it empties into Lake Pontchartrain. But closing the gates on these shipping lanes doesn’t account for all the industry-related risks. Canal floodwalls are not designed to withstand a collision with a multi-ton ship, so vessels must leave before the storm arrives — yet another complicating factor. When a storm approaches, the flood-protection authority has daily conference calls with the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, the corps, the Coast Guard, the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, the National Weather Service (NWS), the Port of New Orleans and shipping companies. “None of these decisions are made in a vacuum,” Turner said. “We have to monitor predictions for wind speed and direction, tide strengths, storm track and other crucial information. It all bears on the decisions we have to make.” The choices begin when the NWS predicts that a storm will make landfall in the area in 96 hours. According to the SLFPA-E, here’s the process: 1. Crews begin closing gates and valves most vulnerable to rising water, and they certify that gates normally closed are secure. At the same time, crews are sent to begin closing the bypass barge gate on the Gulf waterway at the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier. The early start here is necessary because of the gate’s complex design. First, the main Gulf waterway gate must be closed so crews and equipment can cross over to the bypass gate. However, if the current is greater than one foot per second, the motor used to close the barge gate may not be strong enough. So a crew must first close the Seabrook gate, about 10 miles away at Lake Pontchartrain, to reduce current at the barge gate. Once the current is reduced and crews have reached the barge gate, the main gate on the Gulf waterway is reopened to allow shipping to resume.

It takes about nine hours to close the barge gate. After that, the main gate must be closed again to allow the crew and equipment to exit. Then Seabrook and the main gate on the Gulf waterway can be reopened — for the time being. 2. The Bayou Dupre and Bayou Bienvenue gates at the MR-GO must be closed when water in the Central Wetlands reaches one foot. All pumping stations in St. Bernard Parish and one in New Orleans discharge to the wetlands, so managers must save enough capacity to keep rainwater from flooding streets. 3. The shipping gate across Caernarvon Canal adjacent to the Mississippi River diversion must be closed when the water reaches two feet and is rising. 4. The new Bayou Bienvenue Lift Gate on the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier must be closed at some point after the barge gate is closed. 5. The Coast Guard begins clearing vessels from the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal area if one of two conditions is met: A storm’s impacts are about 36 hours out; and it’s 24 hours before wind speeds are forecast to reach 35 mph. The major evacuation route for most ships inside the canal system is into the Mississippi River, through the locks on the Industrial Canal. The drawbridges across the Industrial Canal must be raised so the ships aren’t trapped inside the canals, where they could knock a hole in a floodwall. But engineers say some of the bridges cannot be raised safely once the wind reaches 35 mph. The process of raising and lowering the drawbridges is complicated by an evacuation order, if there is one. 6. The main gate on the Gulf waterway and the gates at Seabrook are the last major openings in the system to close. Because Lake Borgne is closer to the Gulf, it experiences storm surge earlier than Lake Pontchartrain. So the corps closes the main gate on the Gulf waterway first. 7. It takes about two hours for the water level in the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal to fall to a level equal to Lake Pontchartrain. When that happens, the Seabrook gates are closed. The corps will begin this process when the water level inside the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal is between 1.5 and 3 feet and rising. If a surge is predicted up the Mississippi River, gates in the river levee that allow access to the port and ferry landings are closed. The schedule for closings was developed over months of meetings among the agencies involved. But they all know nature can quickly throw a wrench into carefully considered plans. For example: What happens if a storm develops just off the Louisiana coast and is forecast to strike in 48 hours? It’s happened before. Could the barge gate be closed without the 96-hour head start engineers say is required? Could the winds exceed 35 mph before the drawbridges are raised, trapping ships in the Inner Harbor? Those are the kinds of scenarios Turner said keep him awake at night. “We may get a prediction of when one trigger point is going to be reached — say the wind at 35 mph — and that may happen sooner than predicted,” he said. “So we have to be ready for those contingencies. “It’s not a simple system.” But so far, it has worked. — This story was originally published by The Lens (thelensnola.org), an independent, nonprofit newsroom serving New Orleans.

SCUTTLEBUTT Quotes of the week

“Riders are apparently something of an afterthought among the powers that be, which gets to the real problem with LA Swift: It was a bus, and there exists in this country an inherent class prejudice against riding buses — particularly in the Deep South, where middle-class and wealthy people are wedded to their cars.” — Stephanie Riegel in the Baton Rouge Business Report, on the demise of the LA Swift bus line between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. “The businessmen make money. The people who sell things make money. The rock band makes millions of dollars, but before they leave, they trash the hotel room. I think the guy that owns the hotel room ought to have the rock band pay to fix it up.” — Stephen Estopinal, treasurer of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East, during a joint meeting of the House and Senate transportation committees in Baton Rouge Aug. 14. Estopinal’s analogy compared oil and gas companies to hotel-trashing rock stars — and the Louisiana wetlands to the hotel room itself.

of Transportation and Development, which cut services to the ferry after it no longer received funding from Crescent City Connection tolls. The ferry service ends at 8:15 p.m. on weekends and 6:45 p.m. weekdays; ferry service previously ran until midnight. On Saturdays and Sundays, the ferry service begins at 10:45 a.m. The new fare structure is intended to make up the nearly $3 million revenue shortfall for the ferry service, according to RTA officials, and will allow “normal” service hours to continue. Residents and businesses on the West Bank have complained that the reduced hours have affected them adversely. — ALEX WOODWARD

The tide is nigh NEW MEDIA CONFERENCE SEPT. 14 AT XAVIER; COTTON TO KEYNOTE Rising Tide, the annual new-media conference staged by many of New Orleans’ bloggers, is set for Sept. 14 at Xavier University. This year’s keynote speaker will be Deborah “Big Red” Cotton, the Gambit correspondent who was one of 19 injured last May in the Mother’s Day second-line shooting in the 7th Ward. Others announced on the preliminary schedule include Gambit’s Megan Braden-Perry, who will speak about personal branding and social media, and Times-Picayune columnist Jarvis DeBerry, who will moderate the “Writers of Color” panel. Tickets for Rising Tide 8 are $20 in advance ($18 for students), and can be purchased at the organization’s website, www. risingtidenola.com. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Go-cup ban no go CITY HALL: NO ‘UNIVERSAL RESTRICTION ON GO-CUPS’ Nobody is taking away your “go-cup.” Drinking on the streets of New Orleans is not going extinct. Last week, a flurry of Facebook and Twitter posts had some people up in arms about the City of New Orleans’ alleged “war on go-cups” — all of which seemed to stem from a few articles that also promoted the third annual New Orleans Daiquiri Festival Aug. 17. A petition on Neighborland.com asked that go-cups “remain legal,” garnering dozens of signatures. But none of the articles pointed to any existing or planned ordinances to repeal or alter the city’s open container laws, and there is nothing of that sort in the works, according to Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration. “The city is not pursuing a universal restriction on go-cups,” Landrieu’s press secretary Tyler Gamble wrote in a statement to Gambit. Some new businesses applying for a conditional-use permit to open a bar, restaurant or venue, however, have been asked by the City Planning Commission PAGE 12

RTA PROPOSES NEW FERRY FARES After the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority’s (RTA) Aug. 5 public hearing to discuss the future of the Mississippi River ferries, RTA board members met Aug. 13 to consider proposed changes to the ferries’ fare structure. The board approved the changes, which now head to the New Orleans City Council for approval. Before approving the new fares, RTA board members tweaked the plan in response to suggestions made during a public hearing at the Aug. 5 meeting. The suggestions included keeping fares affordable, offering discounts to regular riders, integrating other public transit (including buses and streetcars) into the fare structure and recognizing “the needs of low-income riders.” The latest proposed fare structure drops the monthly pass from the $75 originally proposed to $65 and integrates a monthly pass with other RTA transit options. It includes: • One-day, five-day and 31-day integrated public transit passes for the ferry, streetcars and buses. A one-day integrated transit pass is $7; a five-day ferry-only pass is $18; a five-day integrated pass is $30; a 31-day ferry-only pass is $65 and a 31-day integrated pass is $108. • A daily $2 pedestrian fare ($4 round-trip) for the ferry. There is a $1 senior discount. • A $5 day pass was eliminated. • Drivers pay $2 for a one-way trip and $2 for each additional passenger. There is a $1 senior discount.

Silence of the greens Major environmental groups are keeping mum on the flood authority lawsuit opposed by Gov. Bobby Jindal. By Bob Marshall | The Lens

Gov. Bobby Jindal (seen here at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference) has made clear his opposition to the lawsuit filed by the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E) against oil and gas companies — but national environmental groups have been quiet about the lawsuit.

For that reason, the groups were not part of a coalition of environmental organizations that held a press conference July 30 in New Orleans to announce support for the suit. Participants included local representatives of the Sierra Club, the Gulf Restoration Network, Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network. Aaron Viles, who represented the Gulf Restoration Network at the conference but has since moved to Faithful America, said he understands the national groups’ reluctance to support the suit.

ith three of the nation’s largest environmental groups working out of local offices to help save Louisiana’s drowning coast, it seemed only a matter of time before they voiced support for the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority – East’s (SLFPA-E) lawsuit against oil and gas companies for damages to the region’s wetlands. After all, green groups have been criticizing the state’s cozy relationship with oil and gas for decades. Finally, here was an official state body making an historic break with that tradition. Yet three weeks later, the National Wildlife Federation, the Environmental Defense Fund and the National Audubon Society remain silent on the lawsuit. After working separately for a couple of years, the three groups joined together in 2008 to create the Restore the Mississippi River Delta coalition, a well-funded drive to gain national support for salvaging the state’s abused, collapsing coast. A large part of that effort has been championing the state’s Coastal Master Plan, developed by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA). The state authority is headed by Garret Graves, an outspoken critic of the lawsuit. Restore spokesmen said the coalition’s mission — saving the coast — is the reason for its silence on the lawsuit, not the politics of its working relationship with the CPRA. When The Lens asked local officials with the three national groups for their organizations’ positions on the lawsuit, all of them referred to a joint statement that acknowledges damage by the oil and gas industry and recognizes that wetlands loss hinders flood protection — the case made by the flood protection authority. The statement stops short of supporting the suit: Regardless of one’s position on the lawsuit, the critical point that everyone can agree on is that when we lose wetlands in south Louisiana, we lose flood protection and our communities suffer. It’s a direct relationship. For decades we have known that oil and gas activities have contributed to wetland loss in coastal Louisiana. There are also legitimate questions about the roles and responsibilities of regulatory agencies, landowners, and political leaders in relation to the behavior of oil companies. This case provides another forum, in this case a judicial forum, for a real discussion about how we take collective steps toward restoring and protecting a coast that we all depend on. In the meantime, the work of restoration and flood protection under the state’s plan for coastal sustainability needs to go forward as aggressively and rapidly as possible, as does the important discussion about sustainable funding for these long-term efforts. Finally, if the lawsuit goes forward and at some point a settlement is reached or a judgment assessed, the outcome should be directed specifically to supporting ongoing coastal restoration under the state’s plan. David Muth, who directs the National Wildlife Federation’s restoration efforts in Louisiana, said that the statement reflects the position of the Louisiana coalition members, not their national organizations. “In this instance we are acting as a group of organizations that have come together to stay focused on one purpose: getting the wholesale restoration of the coast underway,” he said.

(CPC) or the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to restrict or ban go-cups — a policy that has been in place under the most recent zoning ordinances since at least 2007. That conditional-use permit allows a bar, restaurant or venue to open within an area typically not zoned for such uses, such as a primarily residential area. It also applies to arts and cultural overlay districts, such as those on Freret and Frenchmen streets, and the upcoming overlay on St. Claude Avenue from Press Street to Poland Avenue. The zoning ordinance for conditionaluse permits reads, “To-go cups shall be prohibited for those premises with alcoholic beverage permits.” In addition, a bar or venue also may sign a “good neighbor agreement” with the board, CPC and neighborhood organizations that prevents the bar from issuing go-cups. Neighbors complain the cups present a litter problem. The agreements typically include a litter abatement program, such as adding trash cans. Those restrictions do not apply to existing businesses, including bars and daiquiri shops, unless the businesses are brought before New Orleans City Council or the alcohol board for violations, such as noise, litter, delinquent taxes or other issues. What about drinkers’ rights? The city’s open-container law doesn’t prevent drinking outside a bar unless the beverage is in a glass or “metal” container. According to the city, “It shall be unlawful for owners of establishments which sell beverages in glass or metal containers in the city to knowingly allow any person to leave the premises of such establishment carrying an opened glass or opened metal container.” And the open-container law means there’s no reason you can’t bring your own gocup to any establishment. — ALEX WOODWARD

Political decoy DUCK DYNASTY STAR NOT RUNNING FOR CONGRESS Last week, the “Washington Secrets” column on the Washington Examiner’s website floated an interesting if implausible tale about “key Republican operatives” seeking to run Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson for the Louisiana 5th District House seat being vacated by Rep. Rodney Alexander. “GOP officials said while there is an interest in getting Robertson to run, they doubted that they can get him to leave his TV and CEO perch,” columnist Paul Bedard wrote. “Others said that Washington is often too fast to reach out to celebrities because they often turn out to be poor candidates.” The story was discussed nationally, despite the fact not one “GOP official” was named in Bedard’s whole story. Within 48 hours, Robertson appeared

on Fox News to deny he would run. Completely coincidentally, Duck Dynasty began its fourth season last week as well. — KEVIN ALLMAN

thinking out loud

Fighting animal abuse keeping the 600-plus birds will cost the nonprofit organization $3.33 per day, per bird — money the LA-SPCA must divert from its regular caseload of dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals. In other words, the potential fine against the birds’ alleged owner, Trinh Tran, is less than the LASPCA is spending in one day to care for the seized birds. Because of a city ban on roosters, the males cannot be placed locally, and many bird sanctuaries and farms are full and cannot accept more birds. “We are trying to figure out what to do with the roosters,” Elizardi said, “and euthanasia is a definite possibility.” How can you help? The LA-SPCA has received dozens of queries about the seized hens and chicks and can’t return all the calls and emails. Elizardi recommends checking the organization’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ thelaspca) for the latest information if you’re interested in taking some backyard

The penalties for cockfighting activities are far too light. The maximum fine for a second offense is only $2,000. poultry. Meanwhile, the LA-SPCA, which can always use more money, could also use some help getting through this crisis. As for fighting animal abuse in the future, state legislators should take note: The penalties for cockfighting activities are far too light. The maximum fine for a second offense is only $2,000, with possible (but not mandatory) prison time. It’s only after a third offense that jail time becomes mandatory without the possibility of parole, probation or suspension of sentence. That needs to change. Until change comes, groups like the LA-SPCA will have to clean up the mess — literally, figuratively and financially. Putting an end to cockfighting isn’t just the right thing to do from a humane perspective. Louisiana is at the bottom of far too many “best” lists and the top of far too many “worst” lists. In 2007, lawmakers realized that being the last state in the union to allow cockfighting was a black eye on our state. Increasing the penalties for this inhumane practice is the next logical step.

nimal abuse stories, sadly, are not uncommon in Louisiana, but what happened last week in eastern New Orleans was a shocker. More than 600 roosters were seized in a raid in what appears to have been a long-term, sophisticated cockfighting operation. Representatives of the LA-SPCA said it was the largest seizure of animals in the group’s 125-year history. The site held barrels that housed the fighting roosters, as well as drug paraphernalia, spurs and other implements associated with cockfighting. This wasn’t some clandestine rooster farm out in the swamps, either. It was on a well-traveled block of Chef Menteur Highway, just east of Michoud Boulevard. Like many brazen crimes, this one left people wondering how someone thought he or she could get away with it. For the answer to that, look to Baton Rouge. Louisiana was the last state in the union to outlaw the practice of cockfighting (it’s still legal in some U.S. territories, including Guam and Puerto Rico). As late as 2006, animal rights advocates couldn’t garner enough votes in the Legislature to ban cockfighting, but the tide was turning. Some Louisianans, particularly in the southwestern parishes, argued that fighting roosters were part of our state’s heritage and a multi-million-dollar plank in Louisiana’s economy. But that didn’t wash; supporters of a ban pointed to polls showing more than 80 percent of Louisianans wanted the practice stopped, and lawmakers of both parties began to fall in line. In 2007, New Mexico became the 49th state to ban cockfighting. The federal government passed tough new laws banning the interstate transfer of animals for the purposes of fighting. The die was cast. That year, the Louisiana Legislature finally did the right thing — the inevitable thing — and banned cockfighting, effective in 2008 (giving existing breeders time to liquidate their stocks). The ban was passed with bipartisan support. The penalties for cockfighting-related offenses, however, are far too weak. For a first conviction on charges of organizing cockfights or breeding birds to be fought, a violator “shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned for no more than six months, or both.” Let’s put this in perspective: $1,000 is less than the price of a thoroughbred gamecock. Even in Puerto Rico, where cockfighting is sanctioned by local government, fines for clandestine or underground cockfights can by law run as much as $5,000. “It’s light — incredibly light,” Jeffrey Elizardi, a spokesman for the LA-SPCA, said of the fine. “One thousand dollars is not going to be a deterrent to anyone.” Elizardi told Gambit that the cost of

Trying to wash us away and higher casualty losses during hurricanes and floods? Surely, business people understand zero-sum theory. The cost of coastal land loss will be paid. If Big Oil doesn’t pay its share, the rest of us will. And what of other political subdivisions affected by coastal land loss — the City of New Orleans, the Sewerage and Water Board, other coastal parishes and other levee boards? What are they waiting for? While the business community, the big newspapers and others sit on their hands, Jindal and Graves are turning the screws. SLFPA-E commissioners met with Graves behind closed doors for several hours last week, ostensibly to discuss the pending litigation. Such meetings are a legitimate exception to the state’s open meetings law. The problem with last week’s executive session was that the board’s litiga-

The cost of coastal land loss will be paid. If Big Oil doesn’t pay its share, the rest of us will. tion attorneys were excluded. So what legal strategies did the commissioners and Graves, who is not an attorney, discuss? More likely, the executive session was a pretext to give Graves another opportunity — outside the public eye and beyond the counsel of the board’s litigation attorneys — to turn up the heat. (Another irony: Jindal accuses the board of being “hijacked by a group of trial lawyers.” Who’s jacking the board now?) Whatever Graves’ (and Jindal’s) objective, it didn’t work. Commissioners later voted 8-0 to continue pursuing the lawsuit. In an apparent olive branch to Jindal, the commissioners also voted 8-0 to suspend litigation for 45 days — if the governor would appoint a task force (one that includes the energy companies) to try to resolve the suit amicably. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if the business community and others wake up and realize that Jindal, Graves and Big Oil are trying to wash us away.

t’s more than a tad ironic that Gov. Bobby Jindal penned a syrupy paean to New Orleans last week — hailing us as “America’s Comeback City” — when he’s doing everything he can to make sure that New Orleans will be surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico by the end of this century. Jindal is moving heaven and earth, politically, to derail the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East’s (SLFPA-E) lawsuit against energy companies for their role in accelerating coastal land loss. If he succeeds, New Orleans will more aptly be dubbed “America’s Washed Away City.” No one should be surprised by Jindal’s duplicity. He has never let irony, or truth or even a fundamental sense of right and wrong stand in the way of his ambition. And right now his ambition tells him to do whatever he can to ingratiate himself to the energy companies that he hopes will help bankroll his future political moves. In late July, SLFPA-E sued 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies that have carved up Louisiana’s coast for the past eight decades, seeking to make them pay their fair share of the costs of repairing the marshes and protecting southeast Louisiana against the increased risks of flooding. Ever since, Jindal and his wetlands czar Garret Graves have been trying to put the kibosh on the lawsuit. They tried to intimidate commissioners, who voted unanimously to file the lawsuit, into changing their minds. That didn’t work. Jindal now hopes to replace commissioners whose terms have expired, particularly historian John Barry, who has been the most outspoken in favor of the litigation. Barry, who wrote Rising Tide, is one of the nation’s leading authorities on flood control policy. It’s no stretch to compare Jindal’s moves against the commissioners to the brazen tactics of Huey Long and Edwin Edwards. Yet, there’s been nary a peep out of the large daily newspapers that regularly railed against the Kingfish and the Silver Zipper. Such is the power of Big Oil and some daily newspapers’ slavish devotion to Jindal. Speaking of slavish devotion to Jindal, where’s the local business community on this issue? Has it not occurred to area real estate, banking, hospitality, shipping and other commercial interests that if the energy industry isn’t made to pay its fair share of the costs (and consequences) of coastal land loss that they are going to pick up the tab in the form of higher property taxes, higher flood insurance premiums

Wide receiver Lance Moore is one of only six players remaining from the 2006 roster.

ept. 25, 2006. The clock inside the sold-out Superdome read 13:35. That was the moment Steve Gleason blocked an Atlanta Falcons punt in front of millions of TV viewers on Monday Night Football. Not only was it the highlight of a very special night — the reopening of the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina — but it was a play that took a love affair between a city and its professional football team to a new level. New Orleans has always loved its Saints, but just a year before, in 2005, the relationship between a city and its pro football team seemed strained beyond repair. After Hurricane Katrina and the floods, the Saints played in San Antonio, a city that seemed to hope to make the team its own, and its owner seemed willing to consider the deal. 2006 wasn’t just a new season. It was the height of the rebirth

movement — a fresh start where the team and city moved forward together, tackling the challenges in front of them. The 2006 Saints team that went on to a 10-6 season and took its first-ever trip into the NFC Championship was filled with players discarded by other teams. It was a feeling to which New Orleanians could relate. “For us to just be able to come out and put out the kind of season that we did,” says Saints receiver Marques Colston, “it’s not something you thought about at the time, but you definitely felt that energy.” Sean Payton was a new coach eager to lead his own team and prove he could head an offense after several years as an assistant. Quarterback Drew Brees was no longer the San Diego Chargers’ best option; that team drafted Philip Rivers to be heir apparent. The Miami Dolphins, which had been eying Brees, decided not to take a chance PAGE 22

on the injured QB. “It’s us versus the world” is how Saints safety Roman Harper, who was drafted in the second round that year, remembers that time. “Everybody in New Orleans after ’06 felt like the country had turned their back on them, and it was just us. … All you had was the person beside you, your neighbor — and I didn’t understand that at first until I get here. I see the water line on the interstate, I see the destruction here and I got a sense of how much these fans, this city, loves this team. They leaned on us that whole year. It was really nice to be a part of that and actually see how the city has come back over the last few years.” The 2013 season is shaping up as yet another year in which opponents not only will take on the Saints but the Who Dats as well. Payton’s reinstatement acted as a defibrillator, instantly

for our fans as it was for us, and so we’re all ready to turn over a new leaf and get this 2013 season started.” “The city was down in ’06. We came in and had some success and they kind of leaned on us and we brought up morale a little bit,” says receiver Lance Moore, who is one of only six players who remain from that season (Brees, Colston, Harper, Jahri Evans and Will Smith being the others). “Last year, we let them down — didn’t have the type of year we wanted, obviously didn’t have our coach. Coach [Payton] is back now. [I] feel like the faith and the hope is there and now it’s our job to go and deliver on that faith and have a successful year.” The first challenge will be Sept. 8, when the Falcons come to town to open the regular season —bringing back memories of that 2006 night when emotion fueled a city and team.

energizing fans and an organization that felt adrift over the last year. The team brought in new coaches like defensive coordinator Rob Ryan to help turn things around, which also fit the rebuilding theme. “I think we all have a chip on our shoulder after last season,” Ryan said shortly after he arrived in New Orleans last spring. “I don’t like getting fired. I know I got my feelings hurt, as did our players, and we’re looking to do something about it.” Around training camp this year, the team’s vibe makes it clear that players have something to prove. More than 5,000 fans endured triple-digit heat for the Black and Gold Scrimmage, an act of loyal determination that didn’t go unnoticed by players. Asked if the crowds were an example of how hungry Who Dats were for the new season, quarterback Drew Brees said, “There’s no doubt. It was as tough

“You really didn’t know it until we had our first home game and that’s when you could really sense the emotion and all the feelings,” Harper says. “People were crying and you just felt it in the building. There was something a little bit different about that night. It was electric. There was no way we were going to lose that game.” If 2006 was emotional and 2009 was magical, 2013 is personal. “You have a sense we have a little buzz about us right now. Nobody picked us then and you know nobody ever picks us,” Harper adds. “It’s OK. When you have a hungry team, and everybody has the right mindset and the right goals, and everybody is headed in the right direction — that’s when you can make some magic happen.” — Gus Kattengell is the sports director at 106.1 The Ticket.

FIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH

t would be easy to write about five players you’ve heard of before, five players you know will make a difference for the New Orleans Saints in 2013. But those who follow the Saints don’t need anyone to tell them why quarterback Drew Brees or running back Mark Ingram, safety Malcolm Jenkins or even linebacker Curtis Lofton are important to the team. It’s the new faces that can make a difference between an NFL team that goes 7-9 or 13-3. So here are a few new players you may — or may not — have heard about.

| er rg we nd Ha ley ad Br By

There’s a good chance Kenny Vaccaro is a name you know by now. His physical style of play during the opening two weeks of practice caught the attention of just about everyone at the Metairie training facility. Vaccaro — New Orleans’ first-round pick out of the University of Texas last April — realized early on he would be able to play an important role in the defense if he could bring the same intensity to the NFL that earned him All-American honors in college. “That’s just the way I am,” Vaccaro said at training camp. “I have a physical nature. If anything, you have to slow me down before you speed me up. I approach every practice like that and it’s not going to stop until somebody says, ‘Hey, relax, take care of yourself.’” While Vaccaro likely won’t supplant incumbents Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins, he’ll get plenty of time on the field. In the preseason opener Aug. 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Vaccaro led the team with six tackles and played extensively in sub packages and the nickel early in the game. He spent time in college playing over the slot receiver, so the transition to New Orleans’ nickel cornerback shouldn’t be too tough.

QUESTIONS

FOR 2013 By Alejandro de los Rios

If nothing else, last season proved just how important a head coach is to a football franchise. Payton’s .646 winning percentage eclipses that of all his predecessors and — as valiant as Aaron Kromer and Joe Vitt were last season — it’s clear there’s no replacing Payton. Even with quarterback Drew Brees calling the shots on the field, the website Football Outsiders (www. footballoutsiders.com) calculated that the Saints’ offensive efficiency last season dropped from second-best in the NFL to ninth. The Saints missed Payton’s second-half adjustments even more, seeing a dropoff in fourth quarter points that led to four straight losses by eight points or less to start the season. The team suffered even more with a historically bad defense. That’s not hyperbole; last year, the Saints defense

ore than 500 days. That’s how long it’s been since New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was suspended for his role in the bounty scandal and the team’s coaching staff was temporarily dismantled. Who Dats don’t need to be reminded what happened next. Last season is better forgotten — and this season may be one of the most important in the franchise’s history. So far, Saints fans have rejoiced at the sight of Payton on the sidelines but have seen only glimpses of how the team will play this year. That hasn’t stopped some from comparing Payton’s return to his first season in New Orleans (See “2013: A rebuilding odyssey,” p. 21), but the upcoming season has several questions that need answers. Here are the top four, starting with the most important:

gave up the most single-season yards in NFL history. Upon his return, Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis immediately got to work fixing that by changing defensive coordinators, drafting three defensive players and signing veteran defensive backs Keenan Lewis and Jim Leonhard. But above all, Payton’s mere presence is enough to get Saints fans excited. It’s clear Payton didn’t take a break from analyzing his team last season. From

the start of training camp, he’s said his players have a lot to prove. After a listless win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the team’s preseason opener, Payton showed some of the fire that Saints fans like. “I didn’t want to come in and be so negative, but there are a lot of things that I think we need to clean up,” he said. “It was just sloppy.” Last year there were excuses. This year, Payton has returned to make sure no mistake will be unaccounted for.

Jim Leonhard is that savvy veteran who doesn’t look imposing but plays in such an educated way that any coach would have a hard time not liking him. And Rob Ryan, New Orleans’ new defensive coordinator, likes Leonhard. The nine-year veteran has bounced around the NFL, but five of his nine seasons were spent playing for Ryan’s brother Rex. Rex Ryan thought highly enough of Leonhard to all but steal him from the Baltimore Ravens when Rex Ryan became head coach of the New York Jets. Leonhard has 382 career tackles, eight interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in seasons with the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens, the Jets and the Denver Broncos. “He’s smart, he’s consistent, he’s a gym rat (and) he’s a coach’s kid,” Rob Ryan said. “He is who he is and he has his own little swagger to him. He’s a smart, tough guy. Not the tallest guy in the world, but he doesn’t know that. He has been a joy to coach.” Ryan has spent much of the preseason rotating in all six safeties on the roster, including Leonhard. He has worked with the second and third teams and plays on special teams. Leonhard could play a valuable under-the-radar role with the Saints this season.

ROB RYAN AND HIS 3-4 DEFENSE Last year, the Saints set the new low for bad NFL defenses. Fair or not, former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo took all the heat and was quickly shown the door when Payton returned. But Spagnuolo’s firing shouldn’t mask the fact that last year’s defensive roster vastly underperformed, especially given the defense’s pay grade. The Saints spent $57 million on defensive players last year — players who could barely stop other teams from marching up and down the field. Ryan has an unenviable position right now, and his history as a coordinator has been inconsistent. He has never coached a defense that was ranked better than 14th in the league. With the Dallas Cowboys, he had DeMarcus Ware — arguably the best defensive lineman in football — and a talented secondary, but his defense was a weak point for the team all season. Ryan has introduced the Saints to a 3-4 defensive scheme that football experts agree can take a full season for even the most talented defense to grasp — and the Saints are far from having the most talented defense. Now they’re asking Will Smith, a former down lineman, to play outside linebacker and do more than just rush the quarterback. The Saints also are asking Jonathan Vilma, who

will miss the preseason due to knee surgery, to play in a 3-4 scheme for which he is ill-suited (that was one of his main reasons for leaving the New York Jets) and will have to master late in his career without the benefit of preseason workouts. Then there’s the issue of the secondary. From the first game of the season, when Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III rolled over the Saints for 320 yards, it was clear the Saints were in trouble. Malcolm Jenkins, Roman Harper, Patrick Robinson and Jabari Greer all had moments last season that made them look foolish, and the Saints spent much of the offseason trying to shore up depth at defensive back. Free agent acquisition Keenan Lewis and rookie Kenny Vaccaro should bring talent and youth, respectively. For the defensive unit to improve, however, it will require all the defensive backs to raise their play to a much higher level than last season. Payton has said several times that the defense is a focal point for him this season and it has showed in the team’s off-season moves. The Saints drafted Vaccaro, a safety, with their first pick in the NFL draft and followed up by signing Lewis and Leonhard. Though not elite, Leonhard is known for his football IQ and made a name for himself as the heart of the defense with the New York Jets.

There was a time this preseason when it was questionable whether rookie receiver Kenny Stills would make the roster instead of being redshirted on the injured reserve list with a mysterious injury (as NFL teams are wont to do to hide young players). But when Joseph Morgan was lost for the season after tearing the meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Stills’ roster spot became much less tenuous. And we saw in the preseason opener that the team is going to give him the chance to take on Morgan’s deep threat role. Stills unofficially ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the NFL combine — speed that helped earn him All-Big 12 second-team honors his senior year at the University of Oklahoma. It also gave the Saints a reason to take him in the fifth round of April’s draft. “Everybody’s fast,” Stills said. “It’s a fast game at this level. That’s kind of the first thing that I learned and saw. But I’m always going to be confident in my speed and my ability to run by people and hopefully I get that chance to do it in this offense.” Stills caught 204 passes for 2,594 yards and 24 touchdowns in three seasons with the Sooners. That yardage total is third-best in Oklahoma history, while his touchdown total is fifth-best. PAGE 29

CAN DREW BREES KEEP UP HIS PROLIFIC PASSING?

CH AT -TV W WWL TO er | S werg ER and AY ley H PLy Brad

It’s a testament to how much turmoil the Saints have gone through in the past year that their quarterback has garnered more attention for his tipping habits than for his passing. When a gossip website posted a receipt showing Brees’ signature offering a $3 tip on a $74 takeout order, Brees joked he hopes it’s the biggest controversy he faces all season. There is no doubt that Brees is still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but he clearly struggled last year without Payton. The normally ultra-accurate passer finished the season with his worst completion percentage since 2003. Brees still has the drive and talent to be a Top 5 NFL quarterback, but at 34 years old, he’s quickly approaching the age when a passer’s talent erodes permanently. It’s no coincidence that only four quarterbacks have ever won a Super Bowl after turning 35. “35 is the new 25,” Brees told the media at the start of training camp, but even he acknowledged that he wouldn’t have the

Of all the players the Saints signed in free agency this offseason, Keenan Lewis is the one about whom Ryan might be most excited. The coach has called Lewis the best defensive free agent pickup in the NFL. The O. Perry Walker High School graduate earned that reputation in four short years in Pittsburgh, where he helped the Steelers end 2011 and 2012 as the No. 1 total defense in the NFL in 2010 as the No. 2. Lewis is an immediate upgrade at cornerback, where he’ll join Jabari Greer in giving the Saints two legitimate shutdown corners. Lewis’ 28 pass breakups led the NFL in 2012, his first full year as a starter in the league. He was fourth on the team with 78 tackles in 2012 and had 31 stops in 2011 as a rotational backup. But New Orleans’ ace in the hole with Lewis may be that he’s now playing directly in front of friends and family, a powerful motivator. “I am playing for my city,” Lewis said. “Other places, you go out, you are playing because you like the game, and it is what you do. Playing for your city, I think just means much more for me. I know I have to go out there and show up.” PAGE 31

WHAT WILL REPLACE “HALFTIME (STAND UP AND GET CRUNK)”?

CH AT -TV W WWL TO er | S werg ER and AY ley H PLy Brad

Not all storylines about the Saints this year are all that serious and, thankfully, we have one that combines the region’s two great loves: football and music. When the Saints notched their first score against the Chiefs in their preseason home opener, Twitter was abuzz when the ensuing kickoff didn’t feature the usual “Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)” by the Ying Yang Twins. (Count us among all those who were happy to see the song go, though when the Saints were riding high, there was nothing cooler than seeing nearly 80,000 people “getting crunk.”) Now that it’s gone, we have to wonder if the Saints will take this opportunity to use local music for their new anthem. Who wouldn’t want to hear the Rebirth Brass Band, Trombone Shorty, Galactic or any other hard-driving local act play right before kickoff? Let’s hope the Saints use some homegrown talent and don’t just go with Metallica.

The Saints have always had a veteran tight end on the roster, one who can come in and guide the younger players on the roster — Billy Miller, Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas in the past. Benjamin Watson fits that mold and may be the best of the veteran tight ends that head coach Sean Payton has brought in, a tight end who can help fourth-year player Jimmy Graham reach the next level. “Ben Watson is a beast,” Graham said. “He looks like he is 19 years old and he’s definitely helped me as far as telling me to stay low. One of my bigger issues is I’m so tall, but I’m going to do anything that this team asks me to do.” Watson was Tom Brady’s go-to player at the position long before Rob Gronkowski earned that title with the New England Patriots. Now in his 10th season, Watson joins another prolific offense after playing three years for the Cleveland Browns. The 6-foot-3, 255-pounder will immediately add a physical presence in the blocking game. But he also can catch and, together with Graham, could give the Saints the best tight end duo in the NFL.

Hurricane Katrina destroyed all seven of their stores. “It was extremely important for Don and I that we come back to this city that helped us stay here for 73 years,” Velez says. “We’ve never had a store outside of New Orleans. We’re invested in this city. We’re not leaving.” A year after the storm, the brothers opened location on Claiborne Avenue Uptown. In 2007, they opened a store on Harrison Avenue in Lakeview. While they have no immediate plans to expand, the Velez brothers have found other ways to reach additional customers in New Orleans. In addition to free home pick-up and delivery, Young’s Dry Cleaning recently introduced “Busy Boxes,” 24/7 automated lockers located in buildings across the city where customers drop off and pick up their dry cleaning. This system is useful for people who begin work before the dry cleaners opens and end after it closes. Young’s currently has seven Busy Box locations citywide and plans to expand to 24. “It’ll be so much easier for people when they can drop their dry cleaning off in the lobby of their office building,” Velez says.

ay in and day out, dirty laundry is one of life’s sureties. In New Orleans, it’s behind two defining parts of the city’s social fabric: red beans and rice on Mondays (laundry day) and Young’s Dry Cleaning (905 Harrison Ave., 504872-0931; University Village Shopping Center, 6227 S. Claiborne Ave., 504866-5371; www. youngsdrycleaning. com), a third-generation, family-owned and -operated business that has been open for 73 years. Husband and wife Louis and Margie Young opened Young’s Dry Cleaning in 1940 on the corner of Franklin and Filmore avenues, both of which were dirt roads at the time. In 1960, their daughter Judy married Ronald “Ronnie” Velez, who went to work for his in-laws. When Louis retired after 40 years, he handed Ronnie the keys to the business. Years later, Ronnie employed his sons Don and Dale Velez, beginning at age 15. Ronnie retired after 40 years in business, and his sons became the new owners of Young’s Dry Cleaning. Dale Velez says he and his brother still abide by their grandfather’s business philosophies. “My grandfather instilled in us that customer service is key,” Velez says. “He taught us to give the customers a good product at a fair price, and that’s what you get.” Young’s Dry Cleaning headquarters are in the same location where Louis and Margie Young first opened. Staying in the same place where their grandfather built his business has been a priority for Don and Dale, even after

After a fitful start, a restaurant and music hall regroups. | By Ian McNulty

here was headcheese melted over a baked oyster and tart cranberry slush atop a raw one. Cava fizzed in widemouthed coupes and Richard Knox romped across the upright piano on the dining room’s small stage. It was a smooth scene at Little Gem Saloon, and one I was glad to see given the rocky road that preceded it. This restaurant and music hall emerged in January in one of the last surviving historic structures along a stretch of North Rampart Street that was a hotbed of jazz around the turn of the 20th century. It had languished for years until local physician Nicolas Bazan and his family bought the property and quickly completed a stunning renovation. With daily jazz and blues acts in the dining room, an upstairs room for ticketed shows and a mirror-backed, marble-topped bar, Little Gem played into the narrative of a resurgent downtown. The restaurant’s first chef, Robert Bruce, centered his menu on vintage Creole flavors (pickled oysters, stuffed fish, daube glace), drawing from his family’s long experience with the cuisine and the building’s history. But within weeks of opening, a revamp was underway. The menu eventually devolved to commonplace American fare like Caesar salads, grilled salmon, steaks and the inevitable “Little Gem burger.” The cooking was usually spot-on, but the selection was dull and a letdown from

its earlier promise. The latest round of changes is much more encouraging. Bazan’s son Nicolas Jr. is co-owner of RioMar and La Boca and is now running Little Gem. He tapped Miles Prescott, his chef and partner at RioMar, to take over the kitchen. Prescott, a Georgia native, has given the menu a renewed sense of character with a modern Southern approach. Diners can taste it most distinctly in a gigantic beef short rib, which relinquishes its meat with a wink, and fried frogs’ legs with a tomato “jam” that tastes like a smoky, chunky salsa. Char-marked, crisp-crusted rabbit tenderloin sliced over a gratin of more rabbit and cauliflower and piled with cabbage and apples is a dish waiting for autumn to catch up with it. Homespun sides like hoppin’ John and cane syrup sweet potatoes seal the country credentials. Bouillabaisse and mussels trade on familiar bistro themes, and though they are good, they undermine the regional theme. Oysters (served five different ways) are reminders that the Little Gem is still in New Orleans, as are beignets presented like savory sundaes with foie gras mousse and salty caramel sauce dripping over them. Next up? Football season, when many restaurants modify their game plans to some degree. The Little Gem, which sits on the Superdome’s doorstep, at least has experience in that department.

The name of the latest restaurant to join Lakeview’s commercial corridor is a mouthful, but diners who know their way around the standard New Orleans-area Japanese restaurant menu should feel comfortable here. Lakeview Pearl Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro (6300 Canal Blvd., 504-309-5711; www.lakeviewpearl.com) opened in early August with an extensive menu largely devoted to sushi and the roster of cooked appetizers, tempura and teriyaki combinations common in many area Japanese restaurants. The Asian bistro allows for a pan-Asian approach, and diners can find a sideline of Chinese-American dishes, such as kung pao shrimp and sweet-andsour chicken, and Thai curry fried rice. Lakeview Pearl is a family-friendly restaurant with a mix of tables and booths, a sushi bar and outdoor seating on a small front porch. There’s a full bar and Lakeview Pearl serves lunch and dinner daily.

Lunch specials are good deals here, and there are many sushi and hibachi combos for under $10. Asuka serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. Meanwhile, one of the best-established names in the local sushi game opened a new location. There are now Little Tokyo (www.littletokyonola.com) restaurants in Mid-City, Carrollton and Metairie, but it all started in 1986 on Causeway Boulevard. In spring, the company closed this original location and reopened a new Little Tokyo (2300 N. Causeway Blvd., 504-8316788) about a half-mile away, just off the I-10 cloverleaf. It’s a much larger space, with a big bar and a pair of private dining/ party rooms equipped with karaoke machines. This new Little Tokyo keeps late hours, serving from 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Tuesday and from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

Overcoming denial

It doesn’t take much to double the city’s roster of Ethiopian restaurants. Nile Ethiopian Restaurant (2130 Magazine St., 504-581-2252; www.nileneworleans. com) pulled off that feat all by itself when it opened last summer on Magazine Street — a mile away from the city’s only other entry in this fascinating dining category, Cafe Abyssinia (3511 Magazine St., 504-894-6238). In April, a fire that started in an adjacent business knocked Nile out of commission. Now repairs are complete and the restaurant is open again, says owner Tessaye Mendesha, an Ethiopian native who runs the restaurant with his family. Nile serves a traditional menu of exuberantly spiced meat and vegetable dishes, including a family of dishes called tibs, which are like stir-fries, and another called wots, which are stews. The linchpin of this cuisine is injera bread. The flat, spongy bread is honeycombed with bubble pits and has the pliable consistency of a thick crepe. It is a staple for many Ethiopian dishes, serving as both the plate upon which they are served and, when torn up into smaller wads, your utensils. Mendesha used the five-month downtime to revise the restaurant’s menu, which now has more seafood dishes, including a whole-fish preparation, a spicy minced tilapia dish called fish dulet and a fish salad. There’s also an array of vegetarian dishes. Nile serves lunch and dinner Thursday through Tuesday, and it’s BYOB.

lcee Mouton spent most of his career working at the Kaiser Aluminum plant in Chalmette. In 2003, he took up beekeeping and now produces honey at his home in Algiers. His wife Dorothy is a homemaker who raised their nine children. Dorothy describes Alcee as “the active type,” explaining that at age 92 he still mows their lawn. The couple can be found most Saturday mornings at the downtown edition of the Crescent City Farmers Market (700 Magazine St.; www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org), where they sell their Paw Paw’s Honey. Are bee stings unavoidable in your business? Alcee: You get stung, that’s for sure. The main thing is your outfit. The minute you forget one piece of it — it never fails — there’s a bee in there that will get you. I just try to keep them off my face no matter what. Otherwise, I don’t mind it as much. People are always asking us about setting up a hive in their backyards; they all want their own. You just need to really want to get that honey, that’s the thing. Do you get much feedback from customers? Dorothy: The people who come to the market want fresh things, and they generally know about honey. Some people use it for health reasons, for allergies. Sometimes people bring us their own honey to compare. There’s differences in the color and taste. Everybody is family at that market. Even if they aren’t buying honey from us, they want to come talk. That’s why we do the market. We’re a little limited now at our age. When you can’t hear, you don’t want to go to the movies. So we do the market. It’s entertaining, I’ll tell you that. What’s the best part of the beekeeping work for you? Alcee: For me, the most gratifying part is lifting open the bee box and pulling out a frame and seeing how it’s all heavy and full of honey. You know the bees have done their job. They can fool you sometimes; you’ll think you’re going to get a lot and it turns out there’s hardly any. But when you lift up the screen and it’s so heavy with honey, you know you had a good harvest. — IAN MCNULTY

the only extension of the Bear’s brand to make it the leap across the Causeway. Matt Dekemel recently opened Bear’s Po-boys at the Bottom Line (3309 Division St., Metairie, 504-4556613) inside a newly renovated bar on the edge of Fat City. Dekemel was previously a part owner in the Bear’s edition at Gennaro’s, which opened in 2010. He left that partnership and opened his own version after consulting with the Watson family, which started the first Bear’s on the Northshore. The menu at Bear’s at the Bottom Line features a standard roster of po-boys, starting with the roast beef, and Dekemel plans to expand with more dishes as the operation gets going. The Bottom Line has been a bar for many years and it still functions primarily as one. That means customers must be at least 21 to enter, though in a bid for midday po-boy business, there’s no smoking allowed during lunch hours. Bear’s at the Bottom Line serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday.

Hunger games

The best dishes often have a good story behind them, but a pair of special dinners coming up at GW Fins (808 Bienville St., 504-581-3467; www.gwfins.

com) takes that to another level with five courses of fish tales. On Aug. 21 and Aug. 28, the upscale seafood restaurant will host its “Are You Game” wine dinners with a menu of fish procured by a local club of underwater spear fishermen called the Hell Divers. Michael Nelson, the restaurant’s chef de cuisine, will turn its catch into the raw, Italian preparation known as crudo and various cooked dishes. The accompanying wines are from Australia’s Fowles Winery, which has a collection of wines blended to pair with game and seafood. The five-course dinners cost $65 per person, plus tax and tip, and will be served in the restaurant’s private dining room. Reservations are required. its various community programs. The church offers a Spanish-language mass on Sundays, and for the past few years it’s been using the annual Tet celebration to bring more Latino families into the neighborhood fold too. This year, Latino parishioners will prepare tacos, burritos and Mexican-style goat stew, alongside the Vietnamese noodles, fish sauces and exotic eats. Admission and parking are free. Bring cash for the food, games and concessions. The Tet celebration is held from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday.

Trends, notes, quirks and quotes from the world of food. “People seem to have a huge lack of trust in their fellow man, thinking that leftovers would be diseased somehow. It goes back to the couch-surfing thing. You’re staying at a random person’s place and you have to trust they aren’t going to do something weird. It’s the same with leftovers.” — Dan Newman, quoted in a National Public Radio story about his company Leftover Swap, which will run an online marketplace for people to trade or give away leftover food. Its app is expected to launch later this month.

Core values Philip H. Anselmo debuts his first solo album. By Alex Woodward

pairs with Montazeri’s dive-bombing, frenetic guitars and pummeling riffs and Gonzalez’s abrupt time signatures. “I really wanted both of them to more or less put their fingerprints all over the record and have free reign, whether guitar solos or drum fills,” Anselmo says. “I wanted them to leave a signature mark.” He sledgehammers his lyrics, leaving just enough shards of ambiguity for the listener to finish. The title track uppercuts the album’s typical direct, first-person angle: “It’s ruined/ Everybody ruins music/ Not just me/ You saw it/ You liked it/ Embraced it/ Then faked it/ Not just me/ I’m jaded and over it/ Sick of the whole of it/ Everything piles up/ Until I burn it in the trash/ Rip it up and turn it into ashes.” “I’m not going to spoon-feed the listener with what exactly is on my mind at the time,” he says. “Look at the album title. That could mean 100 different things to 100 people. It’s vague enough and powerful enough. “I wanted to write lyrics that were real, honest, and come from a gut level. I get that from my hardcore influences, mainly Agnostic Front, even the first Minor Threat record and certain Black Flag records, for sure. Very direct, no bullshit.” Anselmo — whose family ran Anselmo’s Restaurant in Metairie — attended McMain Magnet School and Grace King High School (and the occasional

summer school at Brother Martin). Anselmo quit high school and lived in cars, vans and practice rooms before making his way to Texas to join Pantera in 1987. “I starved my f—ing guts out because I wanted this shit so bad,” he says. Pantera released the back-to-back commercially successful and highly influential heavy metal albums Cowboys From Hell in 1990 and

stretch of wide-open farms fades into shaded woods. A rocky gargoyle-lined trail surrounded by tall trees reveals the hunting lodge and 17 acres Philip H. Anselmo calls home. A blue-eyed white boxer named Edith barks in the driveway. In his living room, stacks of horror movie VHS tapes fill boxes and shelves on the walls. Bhorror movie posters fill what’s left. Anselmo arrives barefoot in a black T-shirt with the sleeves cut off, shakes my hand and pours a half pot of coffee into a New Orleans Saints mug. He sits upright in a plush, deep red chair adjacent to a matching couch, lights a cigarette and knocks the ashes into a face-sized mollusk shell. “I smoke,” he says, as if to ask whether I mind. Anselmo sounds like an exhausted dragon sucking on an oil drum. He just left band rehearsal before a monthlong tour. He also just heard New Orleans Saints linebacker Martez Wilson might sit out for the season. He’s not happy about that. (“I’m pissed.”) Even under his breath he bellows several octaves lower than a giant. That voice has been all over several influential, multiplatinum heavy metal acts, including Texas hell-bringers Pantera and New Orleans supergroup Down. The Louisiana metal icon’s latest project is Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, his first solo effort, which released its debut Walk Through Exits Only in July. “The material written for the solo album would not fly with Down at all,” he says, with a laugh. “I don’t think they get it or like it. It’s not their thing. Their bands aren’t my favorite either. That’s the beauty of making friends in the music industry. You run into cool people constantly — you may not love their band but there definitely are some sweethearts out there. I think my musical tastes kind of agitate the rest of the band, so to speak, because I love horrible music.” The eight-track album grinds out Anselmo’s heaviest, most extreme metal compositions to date. On Walk Through Exits Only, released on his Housecore Records label, Anselmo purposefully pushed his bandmates — guitarist Marzi Montazeri and drummer Jose Manuel “Blue” Gonzalez — to metal’s most severe edges. The album borrows from early hardcore punk to gut-churning death metal, but Anselmo throws it all into the pit. “I did not want to repeat any old traditional ways of approaching things,” he says. “I wanted rhythmic bursts that create their own energy, and their own feeling of uptempo, frantic, rigid energy.” Anselmo’s voice — which he recorded in layers, adding acidic, piercing highs and demonic lows —

Vulgar Display of Power in 1992. But Anselmo battled a lengthy heroin addiction, which came to a public head in 1996 after a gig in Dallas. He famously released a statement he had “injected a lethal dose of heroin,” died and came back to life. That tour continued as planned. The band went on hiatus in 2001. Pantera founders “Dimebag” Darrell Lance Abbott and his brother Vinnie Paul Abbott formed Damageplan — but on Dec. 8, 2004, “Dimebag” Darrell was shot and killed onstage in Ohio. Anselmo stayed busy with other projects, including Down, a Southerninfluenced supergroup formed in 1991. The band, whose eclectic metal recently has had sludge stirred into its earlier straight-forward heaviness, has released only three studio albums, starting with the breakthrough debut NOLA in 1995. Last year the band released the EP Down IV — The Purple EP. Anselmo also formed Housecore Records, featuring a small, hand-picked roster of “extreme” artists, including Louisiana familiars Crowbar, Eyehategod and Haarp. The label operates from his Folsom homestead’s barn-turnedstudio (with another on the way). “The body of music is alive in the underground,” Anselmo says. “I hate rock stars. I f—king hate ’em, man. If you can’t be down to earth enough to f—king sit and talk with people and be a regular person. … I’ve seen absolute nerds, who used to beat on my door at 3 a.m. just to talk about metal, get popular with time in their little bands and completely turn

their back, or change their persona for the fans. You’re fake, man. You’re a big walking f—king fake. There needs to be a reality check for these bands. I pity their f—king success. It’s embarrassing. F—k ’em.” Anselmo pulls a cigarette from behind his ear and flicks his lighter. “As far as new blood goes, and the future of underground music from New Orleans-based bands or Louisianabased bands, I’m looking,” he says. “I’m still very curious myself. I think someone needs to separate themselves in a very original way to catch my attention. Right now I see a lot of emulation out there. That’s fine, but it’s not going to do anything for me.” Later this year, Anselmo plans to release an EP with The Illegals. He’ll also record with Down. In October, Anselmo will debut his Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin. He expects to release his autobiography next year. He has a phone interview in a few minutes, which he waves off to finish watching a YouTube video of his opening band Author & Punisher, a one-man metal band of deafening machines. “I may have other interests, but my interests lie in horror movies and boxing,” he says. “I’m 45. It’s a little late to start a boxing career. I’m done. I’m retired. I hit the bag because it don’t hit back. I have no aspiration to be a director or actor, so that ain’t happening. I’ll deal with the band life and lifestyle as long as the rest of the band can hack it.” He crushes his empty cigarette pack and tosses it on the coffee table. “I think I’m around enough veterans who have done this long enough and made it their priority that they’re going to put the time in and make this their life to get the f—king job done,” he says. “I’ll stick with those guys.”

Japanther with Rusty Lazer

AUG

Japanther with Rusty Lazer 10 p.m. Sunday Hi-Ho Lounge, 2239 St. Claude Ave. (504) 945-4446 www.hiholounge.net

Regular Sunday programming at the Hi-Ho Lounge includes a True Blood viewing party and a comedy hour presented by the New Movement. Vampire open-mic night? It won’t take a buttered shoehorn to make Japanther fit. Pratt Institute’s most-likely-toexceed alums have staged their elaborate punk rock installations/performance art bastardizations on the bed of a moving pickup truck in Soho and in the bike path of the Williamsburg Bridge. Bushwickers Ian Vanek and Matt Reilly have been called up to the Whitney Biennial and thrown out of Lincoln Center. They have played encircled by BMX bikers (before Arcade Fire’s Grammys stunt) and endured 84 hours straight (14 times longer than The National at MoMA). In September 2005, the duo was among the first touring acts to perform in darkened New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, amid “cars planted in the dirt like they were f—king flowers.” Almost an afterthought are the band’s busted-up recordings, striking irregularly yet consistently like rusted-over, double-time clockwork: Dump the Body in Rikki Lake (2003), Don’t Trust Anyone Over Thirty (2006), Skuffed Up My Huffy (2007), Tut Tut, Now Shake Ya Butt (2008). Like 2011’s Beets, Limes and Rice, the recent Eat Like Lisa Act Like Bart (Recess) comprises a slew of tracks (13) packed into a paucity of minutes (30), overfed with candy-shelled melodies, corroded by acid-reflux distortion and serious as a fart attack. Rusty Lazer opens. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Blackfish (PG-13)

An unforgettable 911 call in which a shocked obDirected by Gabriela server explains that “a whale has eaten one of the Cowperthwaite trainers” opens Blackfish, a chilling documentary Limited release by director Gabriela Cowperthwaite about young people, killer whales (or orcas) and the entertainment companies that exploit both for profit. Cowperthwaite found her way to this subject through a short newspaper item about the “accidental” death of an experienced and widely admired orca trainer named Dawn Brancheau at SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla. in 2010. The filmmaker sensed that something was amiss but did not go looking for an inflammatory expose. Cowperthwaite thought she’d make a documentary about how humans and animals relate, but she found a story of corporate malfeasance so compelling and complete that the only mystery it leaves unsolved is why no one managed to tell this story before now. The relationships that develop between killer whales and their trainers play a role in Blackfish, but this is not the story of marine biologists and their research subjects. The trainers that work at entertainment parks featuring orcas performing tricks are hired for their swimming ability, good looks and willingness to follow orders. The real problem with these facilities is that they exist at all. Blackfish spends much of its time on a killer whale named Tilikum, who was wrenched from its pod of ocean-bound mammals and shuttled around the continent on trucks. The film shows the floating metal box in which Tilikum spent two-thirds of each day during his early life at a small and now-shuttered Canadian park called Sealand of the Pacific. The systematic abuse and traumatization of Tilikum and numerous other killer whales has led directly to 40 years’ worth of fatal and near-fatal incidents with trainers at marine parks. There’s no evidence that an orca has ever attacked a human in the wild. Once you get to know these majestic animals via Blackfish, that’s not hard to believe. The film’s interviews with scientists reveal that orca’s brains are highly developed in the area that governs emotion, which explains the species’ social nature and tight-knit family structures. Because so much of the activity at SeaWorld is captured on video by audience members, trainers looking to improve their performance, and the facility itself — both on the surface of the pools and from cameras placed underwater — there’s no shortage of primary source material through which Blackfish can build its case. In one astonishing sequence, an orca grabs trainer Ken Peters by the foot and repeatedly drags him to the bottom of the pool and back to the surface. Only Peters’ remarkable calm and training as a scuba diver enable him to survive. Scenes like this can be hard to watch, but the most grisly attacks are not included in the film out of respect for the victims and their families. That intentional lack of sensationalism is what makes Blackfish so convincing. Former trainers were encouraged to stick to the facts in interviews conducted for the film. Their opinions and analysis emerge quietly near the end, but Cowperthwaite carefully maintains her thoughtful and low-key approach. Sometimes the truth is enough. — KEN KORMAN

BARRISTER’S GALLERY. 2331 St. Claude Ave., (504) 525-2767; www.barristersgallery.com — Paintings by Marcel Flisiuk; “Sitting Prone,” iron sculpture by Rachel David; both through Sept. 7.

They can look as softly languid as flowers or jellyfish although they were crafted out of the hardest of metals. Created in an age when automation makes many things happen instantly, these objects were forged slowly in a blacksmith shop using centuries-old techniques and subjected to heat that often exceeded 2,000 degrees. Even their appearance flaunts contradictory ideas about time, somehow melding 19th-century art nouveau flourishes with futuristic science fiction overtones. And if the contrasts built into this Sitting Prone expo of Rachel David’s steel and wrought iron sculptures seem endless, that only adds to their mystique. At a time when much of the world — including the global art world — can seem desiccated and demystified, her enigmatic objects radiate an almost alchemical presence. Yet, for all that, they are the mental offspring of an artist best known for useful objects like tables, lamps and candelabra as well as architectural elements like the serpentine gates at Bywater Art Lofts and the nearby sculpture garden. Shifting from practical crafts to otherworldly sculptures should be quite challenging, but David’s approach provides a seamless transition. David says she is inspired by interpersonal relations, which sounds like Sitting Prone: New metal an odd basis for works like Still Life, an elaborate concocTHRU tion of spindly forms such as a hybrid mix of passionflower sculptures by Rachel David SEPT and a sea anemone. While very different species, both are Barrister’s Gallery, 2331 St. visually appealing and interactive: One attracts bees to help Claude Ave., (504) 710-4506 it propagate and the other seduces its prey. Encounter (picwww.barristersgallery.com tured) suggests an oversized seed pod with long, graceful jellyfishlike tendrils that descend to its base where they coil as languidly as a cobra in repose. It’s shocking to realize they once were discarded machine parts or plumbing fixtures given a new life as art. So what do we make of all this? The ancient alchemists tried to make gold from lead, but blacksmithing such ethereal visions from the strongest of metals seems an almost equally daunting proposition. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

The Motherf—ker with the Hat You may never trust anybody again — especially lovers or friends — if you saw *NU* Theatre’s recent production of The Motherf—ker with the Hat at The AllWays Lounge and Theatre. The play slaps you in the face with the title, but it disturbs at a deeper level with some nasty truths about the difficulty of knowing what’s going on around you. The New York premiere of Stephen Adly Guirgis’ work was nominated for a slew of awards and won a few. Here, Joshua Parham directed a top-notch cast that brought the intense drama vividly to life. Veronica (Kate Kuen) is cleaning her rundown apartment when her boyfriend Jackie (Michael Aaron Santos) arrives. Jackie is a reformed alcoholic on parole after two years in jail, and he’s ebullient because he’s gotten a janitorial job. Veronica is addicted to whatever’s at hand — cocaine, crack, anything. The lovers want to celebrate in bed immediately, but before they can consummate anything, Jackie notices a hat. It’s a man’s hat and it’s not his. He explodes in jealousy and an ensuing argument almost drives him to violence. He decides to get a gun from a friend and settle things with the “motherf—ker with the hat.” Jackie goes to see Ralph (Martin Bradford), a recovering alcoholic who’s been in Alcoholics Anonymous for some time and is helping to guide Jackie. Ralph is charming and generally easygoing but strict about the rules of recovery. When he hears about Jackie’s crisis, he insists they pray together. Later, Jackie knocks on the door of the apartment where, he believes, the owner of the hat lives. He tosses in the hat and shoots it as a warning. This small group of people is tangled in a sexual Gordian knot. Ralph used to drive Veronica to visit her incarcerated boyfriend, and he was sleeping with her as well. He even paid for her to have an abortion. And he’s still sleeping with her. Ralph’s wife Victoria (Michelle Martin) knows all about it. She is angry with Ralph and wants to sleep with Jackie, who’s been bunking on her couch. When Jackie learns this, he turns to his cousin Julio (Armando Leduc), who also helped him through a fight with Veronica. The cast and direction make this sordid melodrama better than the title would suggest. — DALT WONK LAUGH & SIP.

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I left my former job for a new Marketing Manager position that seemed better 2 months ago. Now, they just announced big cutbacks, so I’ve been told I’ll be let go at the end of the month, even though they admitted I’m doing well. Everyone here knows the real story. It is a family-owned business and they are fighting due to the owner’s divorce, which led to this. Now my résumé will look horrible through no fault of my own. What can I do?” — Melanie A., New Orleans, LA

Grant Cooper

Dear Melanie, That is really a challenging situation. It is true that staying at a job only a couple of months, even if it was totally not your fault, will not look good on your résumé. While “job-hopping” is no longer the terrible taboo that it was decades ago when our economy was much more stable, showing only 2 months in your new job could easily be a red flag that could be hard to overcome.

The problem is that potential employers generally glance through large stacks of resumes and pick out the ones that most appeal to them. Although they usually go back later to inspect and read them more closely, that initial impression can be critical in determining whether your résumé makes it into Pile A or Pile B. Of course, each case can differ, depending on specific details that I normally ask my clients during our first session. No one rule applies to all situations. However, after 19 years of professionally preparing résumés that landed my clients interviews for great positions, I can offer these 5 strategies for handling this unfortunate situation: 1) The #1 step I would recommend, since you stated they all agreed that you are doing a good job, is to request Letter(s) of Reference from the highest level(s) of managers you can, stating that your work has been excellent and explaining that you were laid off due to company downsizing. 2) It also never hurts to ask if anyone at your company has any referrals or introductions that could conceivably assist you in your job search. It is amazing that in situations where there may well be positive possibilities, many people simply fail to ask. 3) There is no rule that says you have to put every single job on your resume. If a job lasted a very short time, as in this case, you are free to leave it off. Since your previous job ended in 2013, you may wish to make that your most recent position.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 20 > 2013

4) If you do feel you want to, or must include the new position, you will need to be strategic about it. First of all, for the next few weeks, you could leave it on your résumé as “Marketing Associate, 2013 to Present,” because in that period you will still be there. (you can even include an extra month if you have a 1-month severance).

5) Once you are actually gone from that position, if you choose to include it, you could show it as a temporary position, “Temporary Marketing Associate, 2013”), because technically it was temporary and it will look much better, since it is not unusual for people to take temporary or seasonal contract positions. New Orleans Job Guru is New Orleans native Grant Cooper. President of Strategic Résumés®, Grant ranks within the top LinkedIn Résumé Writing Experts nationwide and has assisted the U.S. Air Force, Kinko’s, the Louisiana Dept. of Labor, the City of New Orleans, NFL/NBA players & coaches, as well as universities, regional banks, celebrities, and major corporations.
